The reverse design is in keeping
with the traditional Angel coin design used by the Isle of Man dating back to the 1980s, it is the classic design of the
archangel Michael slaying a Dragon, which first appeared on an English medieval coin also called the Gold Angel.

The obverse design depicts an effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Jody Clark and inscription including the
year the coin is struck, the country of issue and Her Majesty’s title ‘Queen Elizabeth II’.
